Are Men Sex Obsessed?

Oldgumbiecat · 30/09/2011 15:32

Common experience tells us that most men certainly are. The unpalatable truth is that for men having sex is pretty much like going to the toilet: an urgent and immediate need that needs to be satisfied quickly, and with any woman who is ready and willing, or who can in turn gain something from it, imaginary or real. Men need to be possessed of real self control to remain monogamous: monogamy is not in the nature of your average man.

So why else do you suppose that the sex industry is in the ascendancy? And that?s to put it mildly. The sex industry generates billions for those smart enough to exploit it. All men are sex addicted to a greater or lesser degree. And anyone who thinks that women are not above taking advantage of them deludes her/himself.

This obsession combined with a tendency for so many men not to grow up emotionally beyond toddlerhood, though, can certainly result in legions of women getting a very raw deal indeed. Particularly when they are preoccupied with the responsibility of raising real children as well as an adult who never grew up. And men, too, are too often preoccupied with the notion that the grass is greener on the other side of the hill: the infatuation with the pretty girl with long legs at the office which they misconstrue as having found true love at last. Once again, it?s nothing more and nothing less than good old lust.

I do not include, of course, the many men who will squeal in protest when they read this, because of course you are all such good little boys really. And if you find these views offensive, then I regret that. But while they may not apply to you, I think it very probable that enough who read this won't readily deny the truth.

Well, if that's the case, balls to the domestos and cleaning the bathroom- I'm going to set up my own, erm, cottage industry.

BDSM - But, Confidence, the point is that the reasons women often don't do it are cultural not physical. We are "trained" not to.

You may well be right. I'm not saying that's not possible, but I don't see how we can ever know it for sure. We never have and are never going to live in a completely innocent Eden-like state where noone's desires or behaviour are in any way affected by culture, so there's no way we can ever know how people would be in such a state.

At the very least, I don't think we can't assume that men and women would be the same in such a state, because there ARE innate physical differences, largely around the organs of sex, hormones and reproduction, between them. That's what defines them as men and women after all. So it stands to reason as certainly possible, if not highly probable, that the whole innate sex organs > brain > emotions mechanism will be different as a result. We can assume that people with red hair will have similar innate sexual feelings to people with blond hair, because there's no physical sexual difference between them. But by the same token, we can't assume that about men and women.

Personally I was just addressing the OP's point based on how men and women behave and seem to think. I'm not making any strong claim about how much of that behaviour and thought is physically and how much culturally formed.

The way that men and women behave when they are sex addicted / are in a hyper-sexual state due to bipolar disorder , are exactly the same. If male and female sexuality really was different, that wouldn't be the case.

Tyr · 03/10/2011 22:10

AnyFucker,

That is just wrong.........

AnyFucker · 03/10/2011 22:13

it's sooo wrong, you just know it's right....

if it's good enough for George Michael, the Greek God of music, it's good enough for me

I didn't know that Gorgeous George liked being spanked with a loo brush. Each to his own, mind....

MN is such an educational resource.

I have it on good authority in my tiny mind

He is also partial to a good larruping with a knitted toilet roll cover, particularly the ones that are looking a bit used

Tyr · 03/10/2011 22:31

Now you're just letting your imagination run riot.

Do people really knit toilet roll covers? That is even more wrong than the bog brush.
